The Ten Thousand Doors of January

Author: Alix E. Harrow

In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller finds a strange book. As she reads, she’s swept into a story of love and longing, of adventure and sacrifice. The book speaks of Doors—portals to other worlds—and January discovers she possesses the power to open them. But her guardian, the wealthy Mr. Locke, will stop at nothing to keep her gift hidden. As January uncovers family secrets and her own identity, she must choose between safety and the wild freedom of endless possibilities.

When we are young, we read and believe the most fantastic things. When we grow older and wiser, we learn to discard the most fantastic things. And then sometimes we find that the most fantastic things are true.
